Einladung zum Vortrag im Kolloquium Technische Kybernetik

 Mathematical Aspect of Quantum Control 

Prof. Uwe Helmke
Institut für Mathematik
Universität Würzburg

    Zeit: : Dienstag 06. 05. 2008 · 16:00 Uhr
    Ort: IST-Seminarraum 3.241 · Pfaffenwaldring 9 · Campus Stuttgart-Vaihingen

Abstract

The control of quantum mechanical systems offers a paradise of new research topics linked to optimization and nonlinear control. Here we focus on finite dimensional quantum systems, described by finitely many coupled spin 1/2 systems. We discuss optimal control problems for such spin systems; specifically time-optimal control on Lie groups; characterizations of controllability and generalizations of the numerical range.
